Method

Preparation of Artichokes

  1. 1

    Clean the Artichokes

    Start by trimming the stems of the artichokes and removing the tough outer leaves until you reach the tender inner leaves.

  2. 2

    Soak in Lemon Water

    Fill a bowl with water and add the lemon juice. Soak the cleaned artichokes in the lemon water to prevent browning while you prepare the breading.

Breading Process

  1. 3

    Prepare the Breading Mixture

    In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until evenly combined.

  2. 4

    Bread the Artichokes

    Take each artichoke from the lemon water, shake off excess water, and dredge in the breading mixture until fully coated. Place the breaded artichokes on a plate.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Fry the Artichokes

    Carefully add the breaded artichokes to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once fried, remove the artichokes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Garnishing

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the fried artichokes with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot as an appetizer or snack.
